Soil Safe Opens its Newest Soil Recycling Facility in Upper Marlboro, Maryland
Nationwide Recycler Now Offers Five Processing Facilities
UPPER MARLBORO, MD – December 27, 2018 – Soil Safe officials have announced the opening of the company’s latest soil recycling facility and site development project, located just 10 miles from downtown Washington D.C.
The new facility, situated within 295 acres, serves the construction boom between Baltimore and Washington D.C., with excavators and developers seeking a quick, safe and efficient way to dispose of petroleum-impacted soil. Soil Safe recycles and converts the soil into an inert engineered fill material pursuant to strict regulations and oversight of the Maryland Department of the Environment.
The Foxley Road location is ideal for construction firms eager to dispose of soil. Soil Safe has built a staging area on property that is nearly a mile-long. Truckers do not have to wait on public roads to gain entrance into the facility. Trucks are quickly weighed, offloaded and able to leave, allowing one truck to do four to five round trips from downtown Washington D.C. in a single day.
This high-capacity, no-wait, all-weather facility is open Monday through Friday. Saturday hours are available upon request. The site began accepting soil last month.
“Our customers are quickly recognizing that Foxley Road is a very efficient operation,” said Jim Grant, Vice President of Facility Development and Salesfor Soil Safe. “Besides the convenience of this location, our customers are assured that all disposed soil is properly recycled into a beneficial engineered fill material that is used to reclaim the Foxley Road site.”
Grant noted that the Foxley Road facility is true recycling, not just a transfer facility- an unfortunate but common practice within the soil disposal business.
“Unlike typical soil disposal operation, Soil Safe ensures there is no liability for those who recycle with us,” he said. “Our operations are heavily regulated and transparent, with processes in place to ensure our end product meets or exceeds state regulations and re-use specifications. Our customers quickly drop their material and return to the construction site, with no concern.”
Grant noted that Soil Safe has been operating in the DC metro area since 1989 through its facilities in Baltimore and Brandywine, MD, a 280-acre site that is also in Prince George’s County. That facility is expected to close in late winter, with Foxley Road handling future demand. It is anticipated the Foxley Road operation will remain open for at least a decade – providing consistent, high-quality soil recycling services for excavators and developers in the Metro DC market.
